No REPUBLIC PROBABLE.
Affairs in Hawaii Badly Mixed-king
kalakaua's Worthless Career About to
End.
SAN Francisco, july /

In an interview yesterday, John L Dare,
late attorney general of the Hawaiian king
dom, expressed the belief that the great dis
satisfaction which prevails in that country
may result in dethroning King K4laksua.
he says such an event would not change the
form of government Fhe present king
would be succeeded by Princess Lilinok slsni.
the heir apparent, or by Princess Victoris. a
little girl twelve years old. In no case would
republic be probable.
The cause of dissatisfaction in the condi
ton of affairs. said Mr.. Dare. are the entire
loss of conf lence in the king and the way he
permits himself to be wheedIed and used by
adv-nturers aud men without character and
integrity.
The premier, W. NJ. Gibson. rules almost
absolutely. He controls fully seven-tenths
OF all the expenditures, making no showing
to the people of where the money goes. The
kiog and Gibson are virtually the whole gov
ernment. They do what they like without
informing the cabinet.
In giving facts about the opium monopoly
Mr.. Dare SAYS bill to give exclusive license
passed last year. After Its passage. a native
friend of the king named Junius Kaa, sold
the license for bonus OF S75, 900 to \ China
man, named All kro, of which $50, 900 was
paid to the king in person, but the king then
gave the privilege to another Gilman an who's e
name is Ah Lang, and kept the money paid
by All Kro.
The king is allowed to enter liquors with.
duty, aud the amounts withdrawn from the
bond under special immunities to certain ss-
looms, cause the general belief that the king
is q silent partner in the grog shops at Homo
lu.u
Mr.. Dare does not anticipate an armed re-
bellion, and believes that Kslaksus would not
wait for force, but abdica,e if a demonstra-
ton was made.
When asked what was the necessity for an
English loan of So ,000,0 900 the attorney gen.
eral replied: "There was literalls no neces-
sity for it. examined ut great length the
financial condition of the kingdom, and ad-
vised the king officially that the expenses
could be kept within the income by proper
measures of economy, although an annual
deficit then existed. Nor could the retire each-
ment involve any policy of niggardliness.
But English adveuturers were able to per-
suade him that Spreckle could be got rid of
though he was not only not providing for
payment, but offered to negotiate new loan
if the king would insist on borrowing more
money. The condition of the new loan no
one can find out, but it is believed that all
the revenues Of the kingdom are pledged
and the bonds deposited in the Bank of Eng
land, and that in case of failure to pay
England will make an international affair of
it, and protect the rights of the lenders by
torce Only one half OF the loan is vet paid
over. The other half is held in allegiance, no
one knows why"

Especial to the Kennebec journal. !

Special TO the Kennebec Journal
READFtELD, July l.
An exciting game of base ball was played
today between the Readfeld and Augusta
ball mines. The Augustus were severely
handicapped by the umpiring which was
against then from the first. Out Of twelve
decisions ON bases for the Augustus all were
against them, while the decisions for the
Readfelds were all in their favor, with one
exception. The Augusta pitcher was badly
roasted" on balls and strikes but neverthe-
less pitched superb game, striking out four
teen men and holding the Resdfields down to
four singles. He was finely supported by
his catcher. The Augustus were entertained
by the Readfelds in most courteous and
hospitable manner and will always entertain
the most kindly feelings towards the men,
sers of that nine. Below is the tabulated
score:

TOO BIG 4 JOB,
Attempt to Open a Safe at
Readfield.
REApFIRLD, July |.

REApFIELD, July l.
Burglars broke inte K. 5. Dormsn's black
smith shop, took chisel and bitstock, and
then went to Atwood Spaulding & Co.'S store
and made an entry by breaking a square of
glass from window in the back of the store,
and took quantity of crackers and tobacco.
Near the safe WAS found large number of
matches partly burned. Evidently they
looked the nice burglar, proof safe over very
carefully and considered it a hard job, as
they did not meddle with it. From there
they repaired to the post office and forced in
a door to the back entrance. Here they
rifled the money drawer of not over two dol
lars in change, leaving another drawer un-
touched, with much more money in it. 1t
was probably the work of tramps.

NO RAIN SINCE MARCH.
Terrible Drought in the West-Crops Des-
troyed and no Drinking Water in the
Town.

CHICAGO, July /.
No such drought as the present has exist.
ed IN Illinois and Wisconsin for many wears
The roads are ankle d ep with dust. The
pastures are brown and the leaves on forest
and shade trees are shrivelled up, and each
hot bresrh of air from the cloudless horizon
drives them away in showers. The creeks
have run dry and the water in the larger
streams is At lower stage than was ever
known before.
There has not been soaking rain in that
part of the country since March. Two show
ers in April, and one each in May and June,
had out temporary effect on the crops.
Stunted yellow spears bending over immense
beds of dust, afford the only evidence that
the farmers saved any corn this year. The
leaves of forest tree are falling OF, and the
fruit which promised to be plenty is wriukled
and dried to the stem. Raspberry bushes
look as though they were producing q crop
of shot so small and hard are the berries.
The drought has become so terrible thst
public prayers are being offered for rain
The fences along the country roads and on
the dead wall of the villages are plastered
with hugh bills calling for special services At
the district school houses and churches.
Fires are burning in the woods and the pas
lures tor many miles around are scorched
Fne farmers have lost many cattle in these
fires, which seem to have sprung up in a
dozen places at once.
Reports from all parts of McHenry and ad-
joining counties 10 Illinois, tell of intense
suffering from the drought Drinking water
in some towns has been po lluted and the
beds of creeks are covered with decayins
fish.
The drought in the northern and central
counties of Illinois is not more serious tina n
it is in Wisconsin. The badger State ls lit
orally burning up, and the crops are nearly
all destroyed.
Reports from northwestern Iowa state that
the drought there has been broken.
